Tight lines
Lmaooooooo I didn’t realize that it made me sound like I already bought it no I just saw it at sports authority today it didn’t look to bad but it was on sale for 230$ I think I can get that much for 300$ could I get a much better kayak?

I want a good cheap fishing kayak, be able to handle some waves possibly, take out on the gulf of mexico, i’ am 6’4 240lbs, give me a few ideas. I know you get what you pay for but which ones the best.

Any yak fishermen out there? My kayak is a 9 footer and it has a fishfinder, rod holders, anchor system, and gps. I mostly fish for panfish, but during the 3 days of 60 degree weather we had here in Michigan, I caught a total of 22 bass. What do you fish for and how is your kayak rigged?

I’m an avid kayak fisherman, and I’d like to add a fishfinder to my boat. The kayak is a polyurethane sit-in model, and I want a fishfinder that is relatively compact with a transducer that can be epoxied to the inside of the hull. The hull is somewhere between 3/16″ and 1/4″ thick.

Color is not an important feature for me, but a grayscale screen would be preferable to strictly black-and-white. The unit does not need an internal battery; I’ll provide power for it. I would like a model that has fairly high wattage to the transducer. A narrow-beam or two-beam transducer is preferable to a wide-beam one, since I’ll be moving slowly and stealthily. The unit does not need a cover, as I’ll be removing it when not in use.

I’m sorry about all of the specifics. If you know of a good unit that’s compatible with kayaks, I’d be interested to know about it even if it doesn’t match all the specifications. I’m more interested in identifying depth, bottom structure, and thermoclines than I am in spotting actual fish, although a unit that reliably can identify suspended fish would be great.

Hello. I am 15 years old and i was just given a kayak. I am slowely turning it into a fishing kayak and wondering if i should invest in a fishfinder. This is the fishfinder that i am looking at. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_58748____SearchResults#reviews

Also i am not sure how to install this. What kind of battery am i going to need?? Also i think there is something that sticks to the bottom of my boat if i get a fishfinder. is that going to get ripped off??

I am putting a fish finder in my 135 Ride kayak and I am not sure how to mount the transducer properly. The Ride 135 has a slight V bottom to it and I don’t know if I should just try and mount it straight across the V or mount it to one side or the other of the V? If I mount on one side or the other of the V the transducer will not set level. Any suggestions?
